No injuries in Pilesgrove school bus accident

PILESGROVE TWP. — A motor vehicle accident involving a school bus and a 2002 black Honda Civic at 2:36 p.m. this afternoon resulted in no serious injuries.

The U.S. Route 40 and Kings Highway accident occurred after the school bus, heading westbound on U.S. Route 40 to drop off seven children, made a left turn but allegedly failed to yield to the Civic, which was going straight and had the right of way.

The Civic’s front end and the school bus’ passenger front end collided.

“It was not serious,” said New Jersey State Police Sgt. Shaun Kulik. “There were no injuries.”

According to police reports, no ambulance or fire service was needed at the scene.

The seven students on the bus were met by their school principal at the scene, as well as other school personnel, who called parents and guardians.

Kulik said the families of all seven children arrived on the scene to pick up their children. The name of the children’s school was not released.
